the gospel cont'd
reading further in "In My Place Condemned He Stood" I read this (and thought it went really well with what i posted a few days ago):
One of the miserable ironies of our time is that whereas liberal and radical theologians believe themselves to be restating the gospel for today, they have for the most part rejected the categories of wrath, guilt, condemnation, and the enmity of God, and so have made it impossible for themselves ever to present the gospel at all, for they cannot now state the basic problem that the gospel of peace solves."Sad but true.

We should joyously and unrestrained speak of our wickedness, that in justice should be AND HAS been punished. The debt fulfilled.
The wrathless Gospel is a small Gospel.
